A child trying to hold onto a memory that might never have happened, watching it slip away like water through her fingers. The film doesn't resolve whether her secret was real, and it doesn't need to, the terror of forgetting something that shaped you is the entire point. What costs you most isn't the trauma itself. It's the uncertainty of whether you're allowed to grieve something you can't prove ever occurred.
A young girl carries a burden she cannot speak aloud, a memory that blurs the line between what happened and what her mind may have made up. As time passes, the details slip away from her. Was it real, or only a dream? She can no longer tell. The film is a psychological drama built around a child's hidden secret and the uncertain, fading recollection at its center.
